Description
This is an action brought by the mother of Marjorie Bunker, a minor, to recover damages for her seduction. Verdict was for the plaintiff. On the defendant's brief, the right of the particular plaintiff to maintain the action is challenged. It was not raised specifically by the pleadings, no request for instructions to the jury on the point is indicated by the record and no exceptions were reserved. The case comes forward solely on a motion for a new trial upon the usual grounds that the verdict was against the law and the evidence. But when contention is that an action would not lie in behalf of the plaintiff, it strikes at the very foundation of the case and will be considered upon the ground that the verdict was against the law.
